Retreats for Adults

This world does not make it easy to be a good man. What we need are good brothers to help us along the way. Men we can learn from and grow with. Men who've struggled and men who've surrendered to the Holy Spirit working in their lives.

We have a Messiah who enters into our mess. Messiah: Stories of Advent shares the testimony of several individuals who came to this realization in their lives and encountered God in the midst of the mess of doubt, relationships, and loneliness.

In My Encounter: How I Met Jesus in Prayer, Chika shares her journey of prayer — the highs and lows, the joys and the challenges. Her story will inspire you to dive deeper into prayer, even when it’s difficult, and give you hope, encouraging you to trust in the fact that you are not alone.

About this Life Night

This Life Night starts off the Life Teen semester, “Church,” and provides an overview of the origin of the Church and why it is necessary to our faith in Christ. A competition between small groups begins the Life Night. Small groups are challenged to build a model house that resembles a prototype that the small groups haven’t seen. This activity transitions into the Proclaim and is used to demonstrate how our human efforts to reach God fall short, but God’s plan provides us with a model house that is the Church, founded by Christ. The Break includes a small group discussion and the Send will provide teenagers with an opportunity to pray with Scripture and to journal.

Goal of This Night

The goal of this Life Night is to help teenagers understand Christ as the foundation of the Church. It will challenge them to make Christ the foundation of their own lives.

Key Concepts

The Church was planned for and prepared by God the Father the moment of the Fall and throughout all human history.

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, instituted the Church through his total self-giving in word and action, fulfilled in his death and Resurrection. He is the foundation and Head of the Church.

The Church is the sign and instrument of God’s communion with the human race. The Church continues the mission of Christ and the Holy Spirit, which is the salvation of all humanity.
